Time has always been a central subject in Morgan Wong’s work. Beyond individual experiences and social connotations, his subtle actions and gestures reveal the formal aesthetics of temporality – inevitable, relentless and yet exquisite.
Morgan Wong works with a broad range of media, and focuses on performance, sculpture and video. His perceptions of time are mediated through objects as vehicles, luring us into his predicament regarding the irrepressibility of time as well as the pursuit of timelessness.
